If gamblig becomes a serious problem people can speak to gamble aware otherwise or learn to cut down on it themselves, no different to alcoholics really.

Looking forward to seeing you, & updating your progress. Unless you are unlucky with your table draw, I think you'll do very well.
The poker model is changing, it really is, & increasing numbers of players want to play this format. You may reasonably argue it is not "pure" poker, but that's the way poker is moving, & attracting a different market.
Anyway, I will certainly send your idea Upstairs, & if they reply to me, I'll let you know.
Appreciate the "messenger" part. I'm here as a bridge between the players & the site, & in the very unusual, even unique, position, of being able to see both sides of this coin.
In truth, personally, I'm unsure why it bothers a few so much, I really am. Having said that, my view is irrelevant of course, as I don't play Online cash.*
* Am playing a lot of "live" cash here in Vegas. You'd KILL these games, trust me.
And how many times have you made that mistake?
The answer ought to be ONCE, any more, & we can only blame ourselves.
I always buy the same type of loaf of bread in Tesco, but recently I accidentally picked up the wrong brand, as all the bread is in the same area. I was pretty mad with myself (not with Tesco, it's hardly their fault, is it?) & I can assure you I'll never make that mistake again.
I need to be careful what I say, but I would imagine many readers had the same thought. Poker players seek edges all the time, try to find the "mark" or "fish", but now, all of a sudden, the boys are worrying about the poor recs. A certain irony pervades the thread.
When I'm not over here, & I am on normal hours & work duties, I log on to Sky Poker every morning between 5am & 6am, & the first thing I do is look at the cash game lobby to see if any big games are running. If there is, at, say, £5 £10 or £10 £20, as there is around once or twice per week, I always go take a look. And always see the same thing - 5 "regs" or "big Boys" & one "mark". And there will be a waiting list of 5 or 6 more regulars. The moment the mark goes bust, or leaves, the table INSTANTLY empties. And remember, this is at 6am or whatever. How do all those regulars suddenly know there is a mark at the table? (Rhetorical....).
I don't really have a problem with it, its nothing to do with me, but its how poker works.
One interpretation is that it's rather nice to see the regs are now worrying about the recreational players.
Really interesting thread, this, & am happy to continue the debate.
makes perfect sense really, recs are the ones who want these not regs so why not put each and every spin up table at the top highlighted in yellow, that way recs will be able to find them easily and those of us who playing general cash don't have these spin up tables sitting amounst all the general cash tables.
If this still had people against them, the issue with having them in the lobby is just an attempt to make spin ups very difficult to find meaning they'll join more of the general cash tables.
